ADJ Lighting Announces IP65-Rated, Multi-Functional Hydro Hybrid ADJ Lighting announces the immediate availability of the new Hydro Hybrid automated luminaire. The latest addition to ADJ's Hydro Series, this IP65-rated moving head can serve interchangeably as a beam, spot, or wash. Packed with output-shaping tools -- including CMY color mixing, an animation wheel, and dual-plane prisms -- it delivers creative potential to lighting designers and offers ROI for rental/production companies. The Hydro Hybrid features a diecast steel construction, robust external casing, high quality internal components, and an IP65-rated design to allow for reliable deployment both indoors and for temporary outdoor applications in all weather conditions. The luminaire harnesses the power of a 420W Osram SIRIUS HRI discharge lamp (6,500K), which has a life span of up to 2,500 hours. Its light is focused through premium optics to deliver an output of up to 14,416 lumens, which can be manipulated to generate an intense narrow beam, a sharp and even spot, or a luscious soft-edged wash. Motorized zoom allows for a variable beam angle of 1.6 - 17.7 degrees (beam mode) or 3.1 - 39.2 degrees (spot mode) and an additional variable heavy frost filter facilitates the softening of the beam for wash output. CMY color mixing means that any desired hue can be selected, while an additional 12-position color wheel allows for quick selection of popular options as well as UV and three CTO filters (2,700K, 3,200K, and 4,000K). The fixture incorporates two gobo wheels. The first features nine rotatable and interchangeable glass or metal GOBOs, supplied with a collection of complex patterns that are ideal for projecting texture. The second features 14 static metal stamped patterns, including four beam reducers, which are simpler and designed for creating beam effects or combining with the prisms to generate more complex patterns. The fixture incorporates two rotating prisms -- eight facet circular and six facet linear -- which are positioned on independent planes and can therefore be applied simultaneously. In addition, an animation wheel is also included, which can be used to generate moving projections and combines with the various colors, GOBOs, and prisms to create a wide variety of different effects. The fixture itself has a sleek design that integrates a pair of convenient carry handles. It also features mechanical pan and tilt locks, which can be used to prevent unwanted movement during transit. As well as standard wired DMX connection via five pin cables, the unit is also compatible with ADJ's new Aria X2 wireless management suite. This not only allows reliable wireless DMX control via a stable mesh network, but also remote fixture configuration via Bluetooth and OTA (over the air) wireless firmware updates. "The Hydro Hybrid is a significant new addition to the Hydro Series, designed both with LDs and rental/production owners in mind," comments ADJ USA's director of sales, Alfred Gonzales. "It offers vibrant output, precise optics, and an expansive feature set that will satiate even the most creative of designers. The fact that it can function interchangeably as a beam, spot or wash, and boasts an extremely tough, road ready, IP65-rated enclosure, means it also has the potential to deliver a fantastic ROI." The Hydro Hybrid is available now from ADJ USA and is due to begin shipping from ADJ Europe TBA.
